LONDON, Nov. ia distinguished En-
glish physician, who is In constant COM
munication with DIR. Mckenzie, and In full
sympathy with his treatment, declares
strongly that the new cancerous growth In
the crown princes throat is entirely distinct
from the old wart treated by DIR. Mckenzie.
The two growths are fully an inch apart. He
says that DIR. Mckenzie Is right, both In his
diagnosis and in his treatment. and that the
Outcry against him in Germany is simply due
to professional jealousy.

the present. This opinion Is confirmed by
the statement published yesterday that the
Crown Princes medical advisers agree that,
as partial excision Of the larynx Is useless
while total exesiOn Is ruled out utterly by
the Prince himself, nothing Is now possible
except tracheotOmy and that only In case the
patient is threatened with suffocation.

Concerning Germany and her peculiar re-
lati0ns to France. an eminent foreign diplo-
matiet in conversation this evening said:
Germany resembles nothing so much as a
bear surrounded by a pack Of dogs which
keep up a continual barking. though they
are careful to preserve respectful distance
from the hated but dreaded object Of their
dislike. The French inhabiting the border
provinces are supremely ingenious In con-
triving petty annoyances to irritate their
grim neighbors. and their happiness Is at its
height when, as generally happens, they can
succeed in persauding the world that they
are the injured parties, and that the German
ogre is p5Tpstually seeking excuses for max
ing another attempt 10 dev0ur them. Many
incidents occur daily which would be trivial

grievance that the latter occupy Mulhausen,
city once belonging to the Swiss COnfeder-
alton, then to France. and now one Of the
German sp0ils Of war. Young Swiss espir-
ers for cheap glory nerve themselves with
wine at Mulhausen, sing the Marseillaise
there. get locked up for their palms, and pose
as martyrs on their return hOne.
French journals complain that at the ded-
dead Of the French and German armies who
fell there, the German chaplain in his dis
